Credentials in the target URL are no longer accepted (cloudmailin/web#313), so this page now leads with the Authorization header instead. It covers setting any value (Bearer, Basic, an API key), where to set it in the dashboard, the in-browser basic auth builder, a note that existing URL credentials were converted automatically with the delivered header unchanged, and the auth_header API field.

The URL encoding section is removed since encoding no longer applies once credentials aren't in a URL.

Merge alongside the web PR so the docs and the product agree.

Credentials in the target url are no longer accepted, so the securing
page now leads with the Authorization header (bearer, basic or any
value), explains where to set it, notes that existing credentials were
converted for you, and documents auth_header on the API. The URL
encoding section goes with it, the encoding no longer applies.
